CavScoutCoastie sends us a link from Florida about the youngster who says that his arrest for having sex with a miniature donkey violates his constitutional rights;

[Carlos R. Romero] later told investigators that he gets sexually aroused around animals more so than humans, the newspaper reported. He also said “people frown on zoophilia” in Florida.

According to the newspaper, Romero’s challenge stated that the law against sexual activity with animals infringed on his rights and violated the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause. The motion also said the sentence for a conviction, a year in jail, was excessive.

In October, Romero turned down a plea agreement in which he would have received probation, $200 fine and psychological treatment. He would also be barred from contact with children and mammals.

Instead, he decided to take his case to a jury trial, which is scheduled to begin Monday.

CavScoutCoastie says that this is somehow related to the war against terror.

In 1991 while I was stationed in Machrihanish Scotland, we heard of a Sailor from the USS Simon Lake (AS-33) homeported in Holy Lock, Scotland (about 2.5 hours away) was caught by a farmer with a sheep.

He was procecuted. This was his punishment: jail; fine of six genrations of potential income from the female sheep.

Oh did I mention the sheep died during the romantic encounter. Apparently when you turn a sheep over on its back, it either chokes or sufficates.

Rule # 1 never flip the sheep over.

The Sailor worked on the motor whale crew that ferried crew from ship to shore.

#5. Nope not me. After a few months in the desert, we joked that the sheep were looking good. Someone even sent us an blow up sheep as a joke (I think) but we never got to this point. This guy is proud. I think I suggested to John we need a category called “WTF Florida?”.

It’s all due to Hollywood, rock music, and misunderstanding. Romeo here had just seen Dr. Dolittle and misunderstood the phrase “talk to the animals”. Then he heard the Stones’ “Beast of Burden” on the radio and misunderstood that, too. (smile)

Seriously, this is a real sicko I think melle1228 is right – he was offered one helluva deal and was an idiot to turn it down.
